| As we watch the year wind down, especially one that has been so challenging for so many, it can be uplifting to look back on the good times — our successes. In our case, that means revisiting the recipes that were a home run with readers. We seek out, test and research, so it is gratifying when a recipe resonates, resulting in emails and social media posts about how delicious it tasted and how easy it was to make. Each year, we gather our top recipes of the year to re-share them with you. Our hope is that you'll make some of them again and discover ones you might have missed. What can I say about Baked Feta Pasta that hasn't been said? It was a TikTok sensation and the most popular recipe we published in 2021. It led both our top 10 most popular recipes and top 10 most popular vegetarian recipes. If you haven't yet, why not try it and see what all the fuss is about? The Spinach Skillet Lasagna that I featured in Dinner in Minutes made both lists, as did Joe Yonan's take on Jacques Pépin's Chunky Vegetable Soup. In fact, Joe's weekly Weeknight Vegetarian column was the source of half our top 10 vegetarian recipes, including his Vegetarian Frito Pie, Mushroom and Black Bean Tortilla Soup and his super-versatile Any Vegetable Instant Pot Soup. We know readers love vegetarian soups because of the number of them on this list, including Chilled Creamy Zucchini Soup With Tarragon from Ellie Krieger's Nourish column. Among our other most popular recipes? A Ranch Water cocktail from M. Carrie Allan's Spirits column and the No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake that Becky Krystal included in her easy-does-it Thanksgiving menu. Aaron Hutcherson obviously touched hearts and taste buds with his version of his mother's Baked Chicken Thighs With Butter and Onions. Olga Massov's adaptation of 3-Ingredient Blueberry Muffins from TikTok sensation Barbara Costello, or Babs, made our overall top 10 list and topped our list of readers' favorite baking recipes of the year. Also high on that top baking recipes list: G. Daniela Galarza's tassies – apple crumble, pecan, cranberry, pumpkin, buttermilk chess, chocolate and lemon fillings, plus one dough. We know they were on a lot of holiday tables around the country because readers told us so. If you have a favorite recipe this year, we want to hear about it. If you got it from us, that's great, but join us on Wednesday, Dec. 29, at noon (E.T.) to talk about the best thing you cooked this year. Maybe it's a recipe you made up yourself. We'll be there to share more recipes and, we hope, learn more about the foods you like, so 2022 can be an even tastier year for us all! (Get a jump-start by submitting a favorite recipe or question now.)
Of course, we've been cooking and baking all this week as well. Take a look at some of the great fresh recipes we have to share below. And if you celebrate Christmas, I hope you are having a merry one.
